A MarketWatch.com article reports that more green energy use could lower energy costs in the future. These findings were published in a RAND report commissioned by the Energy Future Coalition.
Apparently, under a best case scenario, a 25% renewable energy standard could reduce energy expenditures by $40 billion by 2025.
Under a worst case scenario, we'd see a rise of $75 billion. I'll be reviewing the report, which is fairly extensive, for more information.
In the meantime, this tip from the Slate Green Challenge with TreeHugger:
"Donating all of your unwanted clothing instead of throwing it out--and therefore letting it rot in a landfill--can save the average American about 165 pounds CO2 per year. For more tips, facts, and stats about how you can green your closet, check out TreeHugger's How to Green Your Wardrobe, the latest in our series of Green Guides."
That's all for today.
